IBC KIDS is committed to providing a nurturing environment where children can grow in their faith and deepen their relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Children are a gift from the Lord. They are special to both you as parents and to us as a church. Our children’s ministry strives to support parents in their responsibility to disciple the children entrusted to them, at each stage of spiritual growth.

IBC KIDS Ministry is made up of dedicated workers who love children and are committed to their spiritual well-being. We aim to provide a standard of excellence at every level of our children’s ministry, both to children and to their parents. We understand the significance of partnering with the Lord as He prepares the next generation for the advancement of His kingdom. We want the children to increase in their knowledge of the Bible, to walk in the fullness of the Holy Spirit, and to grow in Godly character.

Our Nursery Ministry provides care for Birth through 2’s during all three services (Birth through Kindergarten during the 8:00 service).
